eijenhart i think. Iirc, it was a surface to space cannon (bye cradle).

Einherjar. (Which is the name for the slain warriors collected by the valkyries for Valhalla...just in case you were wondering. Hm...I wonder if there's a German spelling of that? With the Belkan connection, I'd expect MGLN to use Germanic rather than Norse variations...though "laevatein" is also of Norse extraction...)

What are those things that Nanoha, Teana and Subaru wear around the waists of their barrier jackets called?

I've heard them refered to as "butt-capes" but that's not particularly eloquent, is it?

Well, assuming you mean that skirt-like structure that only covers the behind, I've never seen anyone actually wearing one IRL, so I presume it is only popular on the internets. And the internets have so far only come up with "buttcape" for it AFAIK. Still, while you don't see standalone "capes" like this, basically, a buttcape is a coattail minus the rest of the coat. [obvious]The "coattail" is the part of the coat that hangs below the waist, covering the ass.[/obvious]

just as tvtropes isn't exactly the best place to make references, but maybe that's just me.

What are you talking about? Tvtropes is the ultimate reference site!

Indeed, it does.

It's a weird garment, when you think about it. It might make a little sense underneath a coat as part of a formal uniform like in that FMA costume, but not when coupled with Subaru/teana's tiny coat/vest.

Of course, it's true purpose is to allow the animators to combine the best bits of both a bared midrif and a badass longcoat.

What exactly enabled Hayate to master the Tome of the Night Sky? Was it just treating the Wolkenritter as people? Given the Tome's long existance, it should be statistically improbable that there were not hardscrabble unfettered determinators who would do anything to survive, even if that includes forcing an ancient WMD to bow to their will.

(Will get JustBugsMe'd later by my pal)

I thought it was because she activated her administration authority (is that the right word? Or is there another one I'm thinking of here?) and got Reinforce to recognize her as the full master.
